“This song reminds me of you and I on vacation,” the music mogul, 45, said in a tribute video he made for his love, which featured a clip of Coldplay’s hit “Yellow.” In the message for his wife, which he shared on her website on Sept. 4, he noted, “It represents vulnerability; it’s us in our own world.”

Pretty sweet, right? But even more impressive, three days later, he whisked her away to their world. “It’s tradition now,” an insider tells Us Weekly of their trip to Italy. “Almost every September, they head to Italy and France and charter an überluxe yacht for a week or two.”

This year, the duo and daughter Blue Ivy, 3, jetted to Naples, boarded a $900,000-a-week yacht called the Galactica Star, and took a detour to Capri. They enjoyed la dolce vita — literally — and indulged in ice cream cones there!

After Capri, the Carters went on to the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia.

“Now that Blue’s older, they enjoy showing her the places they’ve grown to love,” the source continues.

They made the experience a true family affair and had friends join them — including Auntie Kelly Rowland!

“Blue loves her,” the source reveals of the former Destiny’s Child member. “Blue’s been having fun with Kelly so Bey and Jay get a little alone time in” — perhaps to work on baby No. 2?

“They are trying to have another baby, but it hasn’t happened just yet,” the source says. “But they are working on it.”
